I think it is extremely unlikely that mutating errno in a signal handler is unsafe (after all, the library functions called from that handler can mutate errno too: that's the whole point of the patch IIUC). Adding some configure machinery for this seems unwarranted to me. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10311> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
